BLAME GOD. Latisha Lawson is still convinced it was the almighty instructed her to kill her son during a bizarre exorcism in November 2009. A Fort Wayne, Indiana jury thought otherwise and convicted the twisted mom of murder in her son Jezaih King's slaying. Prosecutor's said the nutter concocted a sinister concoction of olive oil and vinegar to curtail the toddler's "demons" that triggered tantrums and sleepless nights. Her lawyer said she was delusional. No shit. Now she faces at least 45 years in prison.
Sweetie pie Latisha was also found guilty of beating and neglecting her daughter. According to the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, "Lawson told the jury Friday the oil and vinegar concoction was necessary to drive a demon named “Marzon” from Jezaih’s body. She and her roommate Natasha Hawkins thought their other children were possessed as well, so they too were given the mixture to drink. All four children vomited it up, but Hawkins and Lawson held onto Jezaih while they exorcised the demon."
Detectives found the boy's decomposing body in a plastic storage tote that his mom was using as a nightstand. She said of God's instructions: “I was willing to learn. I was wanting to learn. I was learning how to learn him.”
Prosecutor Tom Chaille disagreed: “Jezaih was an unwanted kid. This is a simple child abuse case … She still thinks she did the right thing. Scary.”
